Recently all cryptocurrencies have taken a huge beating. Bitcoin has dropped significantly from the giddy highs of $19K+ to the current $6K+.
I thought this was a good chance to get back into the cryptocurrency game.
I've always preferred Ethereum as an investment compared to Bitcoin.
So recently went in small into Ethereum Tracker ETF XBTE once more.
HUAT AH!

Long Facebook (FB) - Position Closed And Why 030818
So I blogged about taking a long position on FB just a few days ago.
You can read it here.
I also took a fairly large position using CFDs and that made the risk of holding the position very high. Firstly, on a 1:10 leverage, my losses would definitely exceed my base capital if FB continued to plummet. SEcondly, I was paying a very high cost of 3+%PA of CFD Financing. CFD Financing is the interest to be paid on the nominal value of the position when it is being held.
So I was holding a 500 FB share position with an average price of approximately USD$173. This meant that if I had to buy the actual stock, my investment commitment would have been $86,500. But using CFDs, I only needed a margin of $8,650 to open the position. CFD Financing worked out to about $10 per day, which is quite high.
As such, if I had, say, exactly $8,650 in my account (I'd be at 100% margin and Saxo risk management system would NEVER allow this without stopping me out), another 10% drop in FB stock price would simply wipe me out completely to $0.
Over the few days that I've held the stock, thankfully FB price went up. Eventually I closed it on Friday evening at a price of $178, earning about $5 X 500 = $2,500.
Not too shabby, but mainly to de-risk.
A good profit nonetheless!
